What is Wing Chun?

Wing Chun Kung Fu is a close quarter Chinese fighting system first seen demonstrated in the West by movie star legend Bruce Lee. It was brought from China to Hong Kong in 1949 by Bruce Lee’s teacher, Grandmaster Ip Man (aka Yip man). Wing Chun was created by Shaolin nun, Ng Mui, in the 17th century and named after her first student, Yim Wing Chun. It has been passed on and developed by successive masters to become what it is today, a unique fighting system. It is characterised by using the most direct lines for attack and defence and combines explosive punches, elbows, palms, chops and mid to low section kicks.

What is Kamon Wing Chun?

Kamon Wing Chun was founded by Master Kevin Chan in 1992. Kamon Wing Chun is built on the solid roots of Ip Man Wing Chun and is firmly rooted in the complete classical Wing Chun system. It believes in the importance of heritage, preservation of the art, the philosophy and the deep rooted culture. However, Kamon’s philosophy incorporates progression and evolution of the art.

“During my recent visit to Hong Kong I attended several of Grandmaster Ip Chun’s Wing Chun classes in Mong Kok, it was an experience and enhanced my understanding of Sifu Chan’s methods and philosophy to self defense. At Kamon we’re at the top of the pack and I’m loving it.”

“I have been training in Kamon for 15 years. It’s been a fantastic and life enhancing experience. When I practice Kamon Wing Chun I feel the freedom to be able to express my Wing Chun martially and artistically. It’s no coincidence there are so many musicians training with Kamon. We have the freedom to develop personally and artistically, while learning from a modern Master.”
